guidelines
The standard guidelines for creating fonts are
shown in the Design Pages. The contents of each of
the guidelines are as shown below.
(A) Base Line
This line is the reference for positioning the
font character.
Normally, from this line to the Capital Line will
be the font height. This line cannot be moved.
(B) Capital Line
The font’s standard height will be from the
Base Line to this line. This line cannot be
moved.
(C) Mean Line
When in lower case, the standard height of the
font will be from the Base Line to this line. It
can be moved by dragging the triangle icon on
the right edge.
(D) Descender Line
This line is the standard for characters with
parts that hang down (descenders) such as
“g” and “y”. It can be moved by dragging the
triangle icon on the right edge.
(E) Ascender Line
This line is the standard for characters with
parts that extended above (ascenders) such
as the accent mark. It can be moved by
dragging the triangle icon on the right edge.
(F/G) Set Line
This line will be the font width. The font width
can be adjusted by dragging the triangle icon
on the bottom edge.

pages, only the first page can be opened.
Tiff files with LZW compression cannot be
opened.

area. If you try to display a different image,
it will replace the previous one.

Memo:
• The template image that remains in the
work area can be displayed or hidden, or a
faded copy of the image can be displayed.
For details, refer to “Changing the display of
the background image” on page 254.
• The Base Line, Capital Line and Set
Lines, which appear as red lines in the
sample bitmap, have been added as
guidelines so the background image can be
positioned more easily.
